Information Management

Data is not Information, Information is not Knowledge, Knowledge is
not Wisdom

Information has an extremely important position in transhumanistic thinking.
We will soon be able to control vast amounts of energy, manipulating matter
from the nanoscale up to the megascale.
What remains important (except energy, time and matter) is information,
how things are ordered, and the necessary intelligence to handle it.

At present we have growing problems with information overload: too much
information that could be relevant, and too little time and attention
to review it well. Finding powerful ways of organizing, finding and evaluating
information are necessary to counteract information overload and bring
about the next step: the actual transmission and storage of knowledge.
Information management is the first step to true intelligence amplification.

Hardware

The user interface of reality certainly needs improving, just as we need
to improve computer interfaces a great deal too before enhanced
reality, intelligence amplification and uploading becomes useful.

Hypertext extends the concept of text into a multidimensional form of
communication, where documents can refer to each other. This structure
has many advantages, and may be used to represent knowledge better than
normal text.
